Dodge - dodge pick up starting issues


Expert: Ryan Van Leuven - 3/28/2009

Question
i did a tune up cause it was starting to miss and now that i put it alltogether   and finished new cap rotor and plugs  it will crank but it wont start un less i push the gas pedal in and then as soon as i let off of it it dies  i rechecked everything  making sure it was on  correct and everthing was seated tightly  which they were what would the problom be thanks for the advice  i have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 4x4 360

Answer
Make sure the cap is in the correct position, not turned at all. Make sure rotor is seated properly. Double check all spark plug wires for tight fit and correct order.

Did you change anything other than the cap, rotor, plugs, and wires?

Possibly do a fuel pressure test and make sure you have correct fuel pressure.
